Season 17 |
Episode 7

Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!

Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie convince Serena to join them on
their travels! She returns a handkerchief Ash lent her long ago at Pokémon
Summer Camp, and he finally remembers her as the girl in the straw hat. He used
his handkerchief to wrap up her knee after she hurt it in a fall at camp, and
she’s kept it ever since!

They’re still reminiscing when they’re interrupted by a
rumbling roar, and then see several Rhyhorn, with riders on their backs,
pounding toward them! Apparently the track they’re walking along is really a
Rhyhorn racecourse—and the race is in full swing! Officer Jenny takes them into
Odyssey Village and shows them where the racing Rhyhorn live. She says that
tomorrow, the race will be open to first-timers, and Ash is excited to enter!

He quickly realizes he doesn’t know the first thing about
Rhyhorn racing—he even has trouble getting up onto Rhyhorn’s back. But Serena’s
mom used to be a Rhyhorn racer, so Serena is pretty good at this stuff, and she
shows him the ropes. She even shares her mom’s advice, “Be one with Rhyhorn,”
which seems to help Ash get the hang of things!

The next day, it’s time for the race! Of course, the Team
Rocket trio have been lurking about as usual, and they interrupt the race in an
attempt to catch the racing Rhyhorn—and Pikachu, too! Ash and the other racers
are tied up and unable to help, but Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie are soon on the
scene! Clemont and Bonnie free the captured Rhyhorn while Serena and Fennekin
hold Team Rocket at bay, and then the Rhyhorn close in to send the villains
blasting off again.

Before leaving the village, Serena calls her mom to
introduce her new friends and share her travel plans! Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and
Serena excitedly make preparations to head out for Cyllage City. But first,
Serena has a gift for Ash! She baked some cookies to recognize his hard work,
and to thank him for helping her all those years ago. There are enough cookies
for everyone, so they won’t be traveling on an empty stomach as the journey
continues!
